Watching moderator Grae Drake wrangle the Rangers at New York Comic-Con was quite a charm. The cast and director (Dean Israelite) let loose on how much fun it was to dedicate blood (literally), sweat, and tears for a project that’s got big shoes to fill.

With appeal of “Anyone Can Be A Hero,” the overall scope of the new Ranger movie lives within the realm of unique beings with abilities to live for the greater good and make the world a better place.

After a featurette, Elizabeth Banks (who’s also in the movie) popped up on screen with a special greeting for those in the audience (or anyone streaming live) seeing as she couldn’t be on stage live, then went on to introduce a teaser for what can possibly be one of the most anticipated franchise flicks to be released in the spring of 2017.

The film stars Dacre Montgomery (A Few Less Men) as Jason the Red Ranger, RJ Cyler (Me and Earl and the Dying Girl) as Billy the Blue Ranger, Naomi Scott (The 33) as Kimberly the Pink Ranger, Becky G (Empire) as Trini the Yellow Ranger, Ludi Lin (Monster Hunt) as Zack the Black Ranger, and Elizabeth Banks (Pitch Perfect, The Hunger Games franchise) as Rita Repulsa.

Saban’s Power Rangers follows five ordinary high school kids who must become something extraordinary when they learn that their small town of Angel Grove – and the world – is on the verge of being obliterated by an alien threat. Chosen by destiny, our heroes quickly discover that they are the only ones who can save the planet. But to do so they will have to overcome their real-life issues and band together as the Power Rangers before it is too late.
